Been there done that and spent a few years on the forum as well.
It's largely why my participation is slowly dropping off. No point in telling the same person the same thing every week based on my own personal experiences and knowledge of the subjects at hand just to keep being ignored in the end only to see the same questions pop up from the same persons later.
I. tvtech is correct.. absolutely.
Thanks misterT. I know how hard you have worked to teach the unteachable.
Correct tcm. But, we as thinking people have to fix this mess. I mean, Forums are forums. If ETO has this problem....so do the others too..
In fact more so on other forums out there.... At least we have proper Moderation here. Not kids acting smart.
If ETO is slow...imagine how they must be ?
Why bother to learn anything. You can see the same thing in hollywood movies.. stupid **** at fast pace.
To the question, "What is the Dunning-Kruger effect," I suspect it is not much more than a modern-day, scientific reaffirmation of the old wisdom that a wise person knows what he doesn't know. Some people attribute that concept to Socrates (https://oregonstate.edu/instruct/phl201/modules/Philosophers/Socrates/socrates02.html); although, it may go back further in Eastern culture.
As stated in that link:

Actually over at CR4 (world wide engineering forum) where I hang out the most we are encouraged to rip on the half wits and the lazy by the moderation team. It save them the work of banning people plus those of us who do have our poop half to gether get to blow off some steam and vent some frustrations too! :
Stuff that gets me banned for months at a time here doesn't even raise an eyebrow there.
So what D and K are saying basically is that everyone is messed up in some way or another
If someone is competent, then they view others as being competent even if they arent, and if someone is not competent then they view others as being less competent. So nobody can win
Smart people know what they do not know.. stupid people think they know everything.
Smart people know what they do not know..
